  • I felt comfortable from day one with their knowledge... you get what you pay for in this life though, and it’s been the best money I’ve spent. It sets you on the right path to grow faster in the long run.

  • Duncan & Toplis provide assistance with our payroll, personal tax and business tax compliance. Although we have only been accounting with them for a year, we’re impressed with the service they have provided. Their Stamford and payroll team have been exceptional in transferring my business and personal account to Duncan & Toplis. They’ve made the process easy for us and are offering new ways of doing things.

  • Working with Chris, Sarah and the team is enjoyable. They’re always available when you need them and happy to chat through ideas to answer the questions that can sometimes feel a little stupid to ask.
